What a beautiful area

by christine.j - last update: Oct 11, 2006

Mountains, small towns and sheep

I had chosen a hotel in Brecon for my stay in this beautiful area, as many buses stop there. Now I wasn't sure how to arrange this page about the Brecon Beacons and I finally decided to put general information on this page and to write separate pages for the towns I visited.

I didn't see any snow

No snow, but apart from this I got soaked within minutes even though I was holding an umbrella, a few minutes later the sun was shining so bright that I was searching for my sunglasses in my wet bag, yet a few minutes later a strong wind was blowing and I was blown dry again.
It felt like April in October, but I was able to see some spectacular rainbows.

Different colours

The mountains seemed to change their colour depending on the light. It must be an artist's paradise here.

 Great transport tips Christine. I have happy memories of touring here as a child and slightly more recently with friends, but can't imagine trying to do it without a car ;-)
